Summary

In the new episode of Film Stories with Simon Brew, two movies that film studios had reluctance over - for different reasons! Anchorman was a film that many passed on, and there were concerns that Will Ferrell was a big enough name to lead a studio comedy. Plus, the movie needed big changes in post-production. Red Notice was a huge movie star package that originally was sold to Universal and Legendary following a Hollywood bidding war. But in the end, there were reasons why it ended up with Netflix. Stories of both are told in this episode. Find Simon on Twitter at @simonbrew, and the podcast can be found at @filmstoriespod. Support our work at www.patreon.com/simonbrew. Hosted on Acast.

0:43.6	development stories, production stories, marketing stories, release stories, all the bits and bobs, really,
0:47.9	that go to make the films that we know and sometimes love, just that, the films that we know and
0:52.5	sometimes love. The films that I tend to
0:55.0	cover in this podcast, they're more of a mainstream leaning to them than anything else. There are
0:59.0	films also that I'm interested in or invested in to some degree. I try not to punch down. I try
